Original post
I am working on creating an Multiple Award IDIQ for A&AS services.

I have funding for minimum buy Task Orders that is FY10. I must award the IDIQ contracts and issue the Task Orders this year to spend this funding.

I planned on having a base of 2 months and then 5 options totaling 58 months.

I was told that I could award the contract and issue the first Task Orders under a "phase in" period (2 months) and then have a 12 months base and 4 - 12 month options.

I argued that once I issue Task Orders, I have started the performance period.

Please give your opinions as to the use of a Phase In period for this type of contract.

I read that already. I was looking answers to my scenario specifically.

I read that already. I was looking answers to my scenario specifically.

I assume your scenario or question is implict here: "I was told that I could award the contract and issue the first Task Orders under a "phase in" period (2 months) and then have a 12 months base and 4 - 12 month options. I argued that once I issue Task Orders, I have started the performance period."

Your "scenario" assumes 62 months of performance. 60 months is the max period.

If I have inferred erroneously, please restate your scenario or question.

Please give your opinions as to the use of a Phase In period for this type of contract.

Taking your question literally: Sometimes a phase-in period is helpful or even necessary. Sometimes it's not.
